Interesting. I was diagnosed in 2007 and have ALWAYS used the same finger for sticks. I have and have had various auto-immune disorders affecting my skin and yet I have no callouses or any other problem with test sites. Am I just lucky?

After (way too) many years of 10-15 fingersticks a day, I have calluses and little spots. I found that Eucerin intense hand cream works very well. It is easy to find in most drugstores and a little bit before bed makes then fingers fresh and ready to be stuck the next day. It's always something!

Cutomel was recommended by my dermatologist and it works! Hard to find in stores in my area, but I found it on Amazon. Looks very expensive for the amount you get, but you only need to apply a tiny bit.
